HRC AwardToday, the Human Rights Campaign — the country’s largest civil rights organization working to achieve lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender equality — released its seventh annual Corporate Equality Index, which evaluates businesses on a scale from 0 to 100 percent on their treatment of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender employees, consumers and investors.

For the second year in a row, Yahoo! received a perfect 100% rating.

We are thrilled about receiving another 100% rating from HRC. It is proof, once again, that Yahoo! is committed to maintaining a diverse workforce. To see the full report, click here.

And as all Yahoos know, our commitment doesn’t stop at the edge of our campuses. Our tens of millions of LGBT consumers around the world are extraordinarily important to us and we are constantly seeking ways to enhance their experiences on pride.yahoo.com and across our entire network.

This year, 259 major U.S. companies earned a 100%, up from 195 last year –- an increase of one third. We are pleased to be a part of this large –- and growing –- group of companies, and would like to congratulate all the other companies who scored the top ranking from HRC.

How’s your record of providing as supportive work environment for Christians as you do for a tiny minority?
